If the whiny bastard is this OCD about it now, what’s he going to do if UGA wins the East? I’ll tell you what he’ll do….he’ll tell anyone that will listen that even if UGA wins the SEC Championship game in Atlanta, they don’t deserve a shot at #1 because they had such an easy schedule. And the sad part is that he will probably prevail in his mission to deny Georgia that chance. His hatred for Georgia will trump his loyaty to the SEC, if he ever had any. The guy seems to have everything, but his obsession with Georgia is making him sick. How sad…kind of. He would have made a damn good nerd. Maybe that will be his next step in his obsession…to replace PJ at GT. He would find plenty of like-company at the nerd factory.

I would be pissed if anyone bought that line of reasoning, but I wouldn’t be particularly angry at Spurrier. My love of Georgia trumps my SEC pride. I don’t give two farts if another SEC team makes it to the NC game or not. But I would be steaming mad (though not really surprised) if such an argument kept us out of it.

SOS is staying up late, steaming in his hatred for UGA. His nature is pure sociopath in regards to us. Only thing to do is man-up and return fire with fire. You can NOT earn his respect, nor can you shut him up. You MUST boldly proclaim that you are coming to Columbia to kick the Cocks in the knutts. That is the only language that resonates. Fire!

Interesting. I have no brief for Spurrier, but what’s called OCD for a football coach is called “message discipline” for politicians. He’s got his excuse, he’s focus-group-tested it, and he’s sticking with it. As w/ pols, only way to shut him up is to beat him.

How awesome would it be for Richt to show up this season with righteous indignation……wanting to kick ass and take names…..On a focused mission to out-fox and out-coach every damn coach that crosses his path……something to show the world on his path to a NC and put whiney little bitches like Spurrier in the rearview

That logic is flawed if we win the sec championship we would have had to play the teams we are skipping or the team that beat them… Spurrier would only be loudly objecting if we lose to USC, but get in anyway and then lose to the west side… Just like last year

CMR should answer with this…”All USC has to do to keep UGA from being champs is win the East themselves. It’s really up to them.”
Maybe Steve Spurrier thinks we should forfeit the games we will be favored in. Maybe he needs that kind of an advantage. Maybe he should apply at Clemson, but mostly he should take a flying #X*! at the moon !

Another example of how UGA’s strength of schedule is HARDER than Spurrier’s.

Looking at how many teams both face who finished ranked in the top 20 in scoring defense, against ranked teams:
UGA faces 4 teams that finished top 20 in scoring defense vs. ranked teams in 2011: Miss St, SC, UF, GT
SC faces 2 teams that finished top 20 in scoring defenses vs. ranked teams in 2011: LSU, Florida

So, I hope people start calling out whiner Steve Spurrier, you can see why if UGA goes on a roll, it deserves to play for the National Championship. If UGA makes it through that gauntlet, against 8 of the top 20 pass defenses in the country, THEY EARNED a spot to play for all the marbles.

Actually BBagger, UGA played a schedule last season comparable to Bama’s so-called “national championship schedule” but got no credit for it. Get out the 2 team’s schedules and compare them. They are very similar. The big differences between UGA’s 2011 schedule and Bama’s: UGA did not have to play Bama but conversely Bama did not have to play UGA; UGA did not have to play Arkansas but did play South Carolina while Bama did play Arkansas but did not play South Carolina (which had beaten Bama the previous year); UGA played LSU once (in the SECCG) and lost whereas Bama played LSU twice (once during the regular season and again in the BCSNCG) and split, losing one and winning one. The OOC schedule for UGA was substantially tougher than Bama’s, too. UGA played Boise, GA Tech and 2 walkovers. Bama played Penn State and 3 walkovers. This whole easy schedule BS is just that–BS. There is no such thing as an easy schedule in the SEC. It’s just an excuse for losers.

Absolutely, 2011 UGA’s schedule was brutal. UGA played 4 teams that ended up practically in the top 10 in the AP.
#2 LSU (ahead 10-7 at halftime)
#8 Boise (down 14-7 at halftime)
#9 South Carolina (lost by 3 points)
#11 Mich State (lost by 3 points in double overtime)

That’s as tough as any schedule in the country.

South Carolina only played 1 team that ended up in the top 11 in the AP.

I think he meant that Auburn has fared better against Carolina historically than Arkansas has, whereas Arkansas has fared worse against us than Auburn has…so if you switch them, Carolina is more likely to lose, and we’re more likely to win. I don’t think he actually wanted to trade the games.

Meh. Sour grapes. Deep down, he knows we pushed them all over the field all night. Turnovers and special teams came back to bite us. Coincidentally, in a later game where we managed both aspects much better, we beat the snot out of a western foe who shocked S.Car in Columbia.

I know this is counting chickens(gamecocks,whatever) before they hatch but when we leave Williams-Brice Stadium after bitch slapping USC lite the proper thing to say would be” the Old Ball Coach was right this sure is an easy schedule with cupcakes like this on it”

Here’s my dream scenario: Georgia goes up to Columbia and hangs an ass whipping on the Gamecocks. Evil Richt stuffs Pastor Richt in a closet in the postgame locker room and then goes to his press conference and leads off with this: “Coach Spurrier is right, our schedule is much easier than theirs. We get to play South Carolina, but they have to play Georgia.”

Sorry, Mike, I always get lost with these eleventh-dimension chess pointers. What exactly are we distracted from?

As for the UGA coaches, Richt yawned in Destin when Spurrier brought his scheduling proposal up for a vote this year. But maybe a comment in a Finebaum interview will be just the thing to distract him now.

Quote Of The Day

“But outside of that, the biggest advantage you can have is have good leadership, have a veteran football team, and when you’ve got that, it doesn’t matter whether you have spring practice or not. When you don’t have that, it’s tougher, when you don’t have leadership and you don’t have the experience at certain positions.”— Kirby Smart, Dawgs247, 3/31/20
